Beavers Bend State Park Cabins

This nature trail takes you on a circular route from the Forest Heritage Center Museum, through wooded areas with signs to give you more information about the plants and animals you can see.

This 12-mile hiking route, named after a former governor of Oklahoma, runs through the southern part of Beavers Bend State Park. The route can be easily split into four shorter sections if 12 miles is too much.

Only for experienced hikers, this seven mile hiking trail crosses some of the steepest terrain in Beavers Bend State Park but you do get to enjoy some spectacular viewpoints.

Learn about the history and culture of the Oklahoma woodlands in the musum at the Forest Heritage Visitor Center. Staff can arrange educational tours, while the summer months you can join arts and crafts session and nature hikes, or enjoy campfire entertainment for those staying in Beavers Bend State Park cabins.

Hiking is a great way to explore the park but you can also enjoy the Beavers Bend scenery from Broken Bow Lake. Hire a canoe or paddle boat or take a dip in one of the specially designated swimming areas before returning to the Beavers Bend State Park hotels.

Despite its name, Beavers Bend State Park is actually most famous for its eagle population. Between November and February, visitors can join guided eagle tours run by park rangers who will help you spot these majestic creatures.

Every June, the Owa-Chito Festival of the Forest is held, celebrating the heritage of the woodlands with displays of lumberjack skills. Beavers Bend State Park also holds a Folk Festival every winter, with musical performers and demonstrations of traditional crafts.
